5/1: ostraka!
In my Greek class this semester we talked about the ancient Athenian practice of ostracism, and I showed my students a picture of some pottery shards from an ostracism vote which had Themistocles' name scratched onto them. Today at the final exam some of the students presented me with pottery shards they had made with my name inscribed on them in Greek letters! Who would have thought it would be such a sweet joke to be ostracized?
